Which form of radiation is used to directly INCREASE the temperature of water in a nuclear reactor?

Physics

KengaRu [80]3 years ago

The correct answer to the question is : Gamma radiation.

EXPLANATION:

In a nuclear reactor, the water is heated due to the radiations coming from nuclear fission.

In the radioactive decay of uranium or other radio active substances, three types of radiations are produced which are known as alpha particle, beta particle and gamma ray.

Alpha particle is the double charged helium nucleus while beta is the stream of electrons. Hence, alpha and beta are the material particles. They are not radiations.

The gamma ray is an electromagnetic radiation. Hence, this will be responsible for heating water.

Hence, the correct answer is gamma radiations.

A passenger jet travels from Los angles to Bombay, India, in 22 h. The return flight takes 17 h. The difference in flight times
Hoochie [10]

Answer:

70.5 mph

Explanation:

A passenger jet travels from Los Angeles to Bombay, India, in 22h.

The return flight takes 17 h.

The difference in flight times is caused by winds over the Pacific Ocean that

blow primarily from west to east.

If the jet's average speed in still air is 550 mi/h what is the average speed

of the wind during the round trip flight? Round to the nearest mile per hour.

Is your answer reasonable?

:

Let w = speed of the wind

:

Write a distance equation (dist is the same both ways

17(550+w) = 22(550-w)

9350 + 17w = 12100 - 22w

17w + 22w = 12100 - 9350

39w = 2750

W = 2750/39

w = 70.5 mph seems very reasonable

:

Confirming if the solution by finding the distances using these value

17(550+70.5) = 10549 mi

22(550-70.5) = 10549 mi; confirms our solution of w = 70.5 mph

Why was newton's invention of calculus significant?
earnstyle [38]
When trying to describe how an object falls, Newton found that the speed of the object increased in every split second and no mathematics currently used to describe the object at any moment in time.

A 15 n force directed to the west acts on an object for 3.0 seconds, what is the change in momentum of the object?
pickupchik [31]
By definition we have that
 force=dP/dt,
 where
 p is momentum
 so
 <span>momentum is force*time
 p= 15*3 = 45 Ns , west.
 </span><span>the change in momentum of the object is 45 N.s</span>
